"City Controller John Liu likes to hit the fund-raising circuit in his free time, but he also powwows with campaign contributors during his work-day, the Daily News has learned.

A review of Liu’s public schedule for 2011 shows that he met with at least nine donors and moneymen while on the clock as the city’s top financial watchdog -- possibly breaking election laws."

The question begs, In other words embattled "Democrook", Democrat city comptroller, John Liu wasn't elected to be the city's "top financial watchdog", but rather to raise as much "cold-cash" as possible.

The question begs, Truly "Pathetic".

"Chapter 68 of the City Charter says city employees “may campaign only during their personal time and may not use their official city position to advance either their own candidacy or the candidacy of others.” But Liu, a likely mayoral candidate, penciled in work-time meetings with three bundlers - each within a month of them handing over thousands of dollars to his campaign."

The question begs, Truly "Politics at it's Worst."

"City Councilman Peter Koo gathered $7,200 from nine different donors between July 7 and July 11. Then he got together with Liu on Thursday, July 21, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., records show."

The question begs, Which is exactly why this reform minded commentator supports the FBI's investigation of all of embattled city comptroller, "Democrook", I mean Democrat, John Liu's "cold-cash" donors.

"State Assemblywoman Grace Meng, another a Liu bundler, was also at the July meeting. That month, she raised $4,000 from five different donors for the controller, records show.

Meng told the News she and Koo were at a press conference with Asian American media in which Liu thanked public officials for helping him get elected.

Basically John called for a meeting with me and Councilman Koo,” Meng said. “We definitely didn't discuss his candidacy for mayor.”

The question begs, However they probably did discuss how much "cold-cash" they could raise for him.

"Koo and Meng were among 59 Liu fund-raisers who collected $513,175 for his war chest in the last six months, records show. Liu has been under intense scrutiny since one moneyman, Oliver Pan, was arrested by federal agents in November and charged with skirting campaign finance laws through straw donors."

The question begs, Somewhere thankfully ex-State Senator Carl Kruger is wishing he came up with that idea.

"Scheduling and campaign finance records also show that Liu had meetings with these donors while on the clock as controller: Consultant Steven Salzinger, who met with Liu at 12:30 pm. on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011, one month after giving the controller a $500 contribution. He didn't return a call seeking comment.

Lawyer Victor Kovner, who met with Liu on Thursday, Aug. 4, after giving $500 in January. Kovner said he met with Liu at the Upper West Side restaurant Nougateen to give the new controller advice on his transition.

The city’s top lawyer in 1990 and 1991, Kovner said he gave Liu the donation at a fund-raiser and that Liu didn’t solicit money from him during the breakfast meeting several months later."

The question begs, Ladies and Gentleman just another example of why embattled city comptroller "Democrook", I mean Democrat John Liu in this reform minded commentators should resign.
